[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to volleyball clubs but I am curious if anyone has experience with Spike DC. It was one of the only clubs that practices in DC and they have non-tryout rec league.  (Although this is really unclear from the website and emails with them).  
They seem to always have open spaces but they really can't seem to pinpoint the days and times of practice.  I was told it would start "in November and go till March or April".  seems unorganized but I really want to stop driving so far for practices.

Any other suggestions on a rec league team for 12 year old beginner (one season of school volleyball but not much playing time).[/quote]
No personal experience with Spike DC specifically (although I haven’t heard positive things), but it’s not unusual for clubs not to have all the details for practice times, tournament schedules, exact makeup of teams, etc for club season yet. As was noted in a recent thread, CHRVA (the local USA volleyball governing body) set the tryout dates for end of October/early November and all local clubs that are part of CHRVA have to abide by those dates.

This time of year if your DD is interested in trying volleyball, I’d look for some clinics or camps that are happening over the summer. While some might be full, I’d guess there are still openings if you look around. Volleyball clubs, college programs, and other entities all hold summer clinics and camps.

For fall, most clubs will have clinics leading up to tryouts. If you’re just hoping for a rec league in or near DC, Metro usually has a few rec leagues at different times of the year at GDS. While not in DC, MOCO’s locations (Bethesda/Chevy Chase) are still pretty accessible from much of DC and they do clinics and rec leagues as well, but they tend to sell out so if you see something you’re interested in act quickly.
